Dr. Stephanie and Dr. Stephen Gundry explore all things ketones and answer the question – are they a super fuel? You’ll discover the role of ketones in promoting optimal health, understand how the process of mitochondrial uncoupling works, find out what the “mito club” is and what the “fab four” mitochondrial uncouplers can do for your body. Dr. Stephanie and Dr. Gundry will walk you through the relationship between long-chain fatty acids and ketones, revealing the behaviors to augment mitochondria coupling. You’ll find out which the ideal fasting windows are and how your body converts fat (white, brown, and beige). They’ll explain how heat works as a mitochondrial uncoupler and how you can use it to your advantage.
